Pros of working at Advantage Solutions

Flexible hours with the opportunity of travel. Good Benefits.

Cons of working at Advantage Solutions

Poor management. Little room for improvement. Very poor salary practices. No steady or continuous raises.

Advantage Solutions benefits

Really good insurance benefit plan.

What do you like best about Advantage Solutions's CEO and the leadership team?

Communication was okay but could have been better. At least I worked with you when you had a medical issue in the family and also were flexible on your vacation times.

How would you improve Advantage Solutions's culture?

Better steady communication from supervisor to employee. Better pay raises on a annual position, instead of whenever it feels convenient to the company. Employees should not have to beg for pay raises when employees with long term work ethics with the company are underpaid compared to new hired employees.

How did you prepare for the Advantage Solutions interview?

The only major preparation was just to be available for when the HR rep or recruiter would call for the interview.

How does your compensation at Advantage Solutions compare to the industry average?

Underpaid and very slow for recognizing hard-working employees with long-term work ethics.

What's the diversity at Advantage Solutions like?

Very impressed with the diverse demographics of the company, especially when they started a prism group for LGBTQ+ members. As an LGBTQ+ member myself, I have never had any issues within the company directly.

What brings you the most joy at Advantage Solutions?

The personalities and proper work code ethics of other empboys that make it beneficial and friendly too come to work. The satisfaction of knowing that I'm doing something achievable, as long as I can also have the proper recognition from higher-ups.

Pros of working at Advantage Solutions

I personally have a great direct superviser. You can't be the schedule considering you're in retail.

Cons of working at Advantage Solutions

Sometimes the amount of time given based on work load is unrealistic. Hours are NOT reliable. Pay is below the median in my area. Health benefits are not great.

Advantage Solutions benefits

No holidays

What do you like best about Advantage Solutions's CEO and the leadership team?

Can't make an educated comment on the CEO. My direct superviser and help desk are great.

How would you improve Advantage Solutions's culture?

Pay associates what they are worth. Don't give everyone the same merit increase as this infuriating to associates. Reviews and merit increases should take place at the same time. Don't review/rate associates in Q1 but increase is received in Q4??? That's absurd.

How did you prepare for the Advantage Solutions interview?

My skill set is above those needed for my position. Therefore, no prep was needed.

How does your compensation at Advantage Solutions compare to the industry average?

I'm not sure how it compares to the industry average. I do know ,it's not enough.

What's the diversity at Advantage Solutions like?

Very diverse company.

What brings you the most joy at Advantage Solutions?

Honestly, the relationships, respect and being part of the team from the stores I represent. I have developed fantastic working relationships from cashiers, maintenance, DM's, Regional VPs to the Store Management. I'm often included in their holiday parties and "special" meals.

Pros of working at Advantage Solutions

Nothing.

Cons of working at Advantage Solutions

Work for the same pay year after year. Even after 10 years of dedicated service, they do not appreciate good employees. They hire you with one set of rules and then change them so you have to quit. Changing a daytime job to an into the evening job is a big deal. Bad management and just bad to work for.

Cons of working at Advantage Solutions

Being treated like a robot. Training they require you to take is making you to confirm in what they want. Not letting you be who you are. The sales training is decent. But the rest of it is nothing but what they want you to buy into. It’s crazy, thought this would be a great opportunity

Cons of working at Advantage Solutions

My supervisor was unprofessional for working for the company for years as she claimed. Lots of talk and personality. She was dishonest. She deleted my time for the hours worked which lead me to resign. Also, the work done felt unnecessary. I was questioning the validity of the business.
